why is he like this in surrounded sound...continued cw

[ Oh, well then. Is it a sore point that has been pressed upon? That has been exposed by saying such a word? Blade can hardly fault him for feeling disdain towards those like that - he has no better option in granting relief to any frustrations himself (except for going wild like a chimpanzee, but the time for that is thankfully not now. He will simply break off another branch and stomp it underneath one heel.) ]

The universe is vast. I have seen many try to wear a mask; as much as a Pretender as Ish is.

[ It's not a nickname out of fondness. "Pretender" is what he usually uses to call Ish. And he suspects maybe that also is part of that irritance now - along with the similarity Sabo has pointed out. Which, honestly, is somehow even more gratifying. ]

I barely need a reason to kill.

[ ..... ]

But, those who believe in this new lie will regret it. He's already added stipulations.

[ What will keep him from adding more? From suddenly saying 'it isn't guaranteed'? He called out this man's ass on literally day one, and he all but showed his duplicity in that very same moment. ]

If I kill, it won't be to follow his tune; to only reap rewards. Self-preservation has never been my goal.

[ The opposite, really. Not because he feels he is a saint, but his outlook on life is just bleak. Killing could bring him closer to it - and to brandishing a blade with far more interesting elements against their captor. ]

...it will be to turn it against the Pretender, in the end.
